How to Add Colors to STL Files
STL files typically contain only geometric information (vertices and triangles) and don't inherently store color data. So when you only have STL files, but want to produce color 3D printed parts, you need to colorize your stl files first and export color print files that can be put into production directly . To colorize an STL file, you'll need to associate color information with the vertices or faces of the model. (About How to generate STL file, please check it here:STL file) General guide on how yo......

How to smooth 3d prints：6 Methods for a Perfect Finish
In the field of 3D printing, the surface quality of the finished product directly affects its appearance and functionality. Although 3D printing technology has made great progress, due to the principle of stacked printing, obvious layer lines often appear on the finished product, which not only affects the visual effect, but may also affect its performance in some applications. Therefore, it is particularly important to smooth the 3D printed parts. Smoothing can not only enhance the appearance of the ......

Optimizing 3D Printing Supports: How to use it efficiently
Supports are temporary structures added during the 3D printing process to ensure that the model can be printed smoothly. On the one hand, support structures are absolutely necessary for models with overhangs or bridges; on the other hand, they increase material costs, add more post-processing work, and may damage the surface of the model. Therefore, getting the right support is a very important part of 3D printing complex models. Source: Prusa 3D When do you need support FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling......
